I am inclined to agree with you, Lily. I will probably check in and read posts from time to time, but I do not think I will be as connected as before. This new board is just so cumbersome and seems to hid and chop everything up. I read some posts and then find out there have been many other posts made under the same given topic that I had no idea about - unless I finely comb through everything each time I view the site and click all over the place. It is missing the natural flow that the other board had, and hence the more personal connection. I agree with Sam that the two weeks the other board was down was just too long and unacceptable, but this just isn't cutting it for me. I keep trying, but I don't think it will work nearly as well, if at all, for me.
